Gulf storms, clay soil and sprinklers are hard on fences. We repair what is worth repairing and tell you plainly when a run should be replaced.
Repairs
- Leaning or broken posts, reset or replaced with wood or steel.
- Storm damage: blown-out sections, fallen limbs, damaged gates.
- Gates that sag or drag, rebuilt or reframed in steel.
- Rotted pickets, rails and rot boards.
- Dog-proofing: closing gaps at the bottom of a fence.
Staining and sealing
Stain protects the wood and is often required by HOAs in a named color. We stain new fences once the wood is ready, and refresh older ones. 76 Fence stains in a range of colors and matches the HOA-approved product when there is one.
Brookshire's code counts replacing more than 20 feet of fence within six months as a major repair that needs a permit. Ask your city whether yours has a similar rule.
Questions we hear
Repair or replace?
If most posts are sound, repair. If many posts are leaning or rotted at the ground, replacing the run usually costs less over time. We will show you what we see.
How often should a fence be stained?
It depends on the product and the sun the fence gets. We will tell you what to expect for the stain we use.
